PAHIATUA.

[FitOM OUR OWX COBKBfIPONDKHT.J Since T but wrote you things have been very quiet We had expected our Eoid Board would h&ve been an accomplished fact, and that we should have been able to at least hate had a lot of bush felled on rood lines, but go far as this season is concerned nothing will be done, There is one consolation however, we shall in any case be 88 far advanced as if-we had not succeeded, for the County would hare done nothing. The only thing we can do is to wait patiently for the matter to pun through the circumlocution office which will happen in the coarse of tuna; Iu re County suspension I am glad to be able to atate with the exception of two residents we are umutimons on -the suspension ticket. The sooner it takes place the better for. us all.

Wo can't understand why the Government don't let another section of the Masterton extension. When they have the money lying idle, they might as well use it, as we have to pay in. terest for it if the Bank don't.

Very slow progress ia being made with the KTg&wapuru Bridge, as np to last Saturday very near half the time waa gone and only three piles were, driven. It'a a pity it'a not a bridge m it might have been made much sooner, if' not cheaper ; at any rate it ia my opinion it will take double the contract time at the present rate. A court case came off at Woodville in which the foreman at the bridge figured as a family grocer and teadealer—rather a queer combination which seems to tread cloaeon thf heela of the truck system. ; i ": - The weather having changed for the better Messrs Manns and Sedeole have started brick-making m earnest, which will supply a want that is badly felt.
